Inspired by Alfredo Barsuglia’s desert installation Social Pool curated by the MAK Center for Art and Architecture, this short film is an invitation to return to sensuality. The second version of the film was reedited to be a music video for EDM Artist Mot&Krid’ song The New World. It serves as an homage to the beloved SoCal installation which was eventually vandalized in 2016. The video features two futuristic motorcycle-riding nymphs who find an aquatic portal and pass through it to another universe.
